I really hope they do not find any water in these babies lungs. Really I hope they were already dead. I think that would be a better option then, drowning while strapped in a car seat.

I doubt it. But for the babies sake, I am hoping.

That could explain why there is no evidence that she was in the water trying to save her children, maybe she knew that they were already dead.

It was early in the morning when this happened. Way too early to involve getting the little girl off to her first day of school. I have a feeling that the little girl may have slept in Grandma's room. That may explain why the little girl was not with her brothers..........:waitasec: I don't know, I guess I need to stop speculating and just wait for more information. The Sheriff appears extremely willing to talk about the case.

The sheriff also seems very upset. I feel so sad for him. I think he is talking so much because he is so affected by this.

I looked up the mothers address, hope it is right, it is listed in Orangeburg, SC. Also looked up Northern Edisto River (couldn't find one on the map with the boat ramp included). Anyway, the map showed about a 1.7 mile difference between the moms home and the river where the children were found. Here's a link.

Ooops, the link shows the moms address but leaves out the north edisto river, Orangeburg, SC ...if you type this in (in the directions space, first one) it should show the results.

Those poor babies. That is really all I can say. I wouldnt be able to stand seeing an image of this horrid awful person. I hope the other mothers in jail beat the crap out of her and someone chokes her until she cannot breath and lets go just to do it all over again. I would just take a match to her and walk away.

Well if she ends up in the same jail with Susan Smith she'll be ok. Nothing has happened to Susan except she got in trouble lately for having "relations" with a guard.

When are mothers going to realize that this is just not the answer...........it solves nothing.

Heartbreaking.

They won't learn. I'm from the area of this crime and I can tell you that ignorance, refusal to get an education, refusal to work, playing the blame game and a willingness to live off the government and the "baby daddy", are what TOO many here in SC are all about. And when they don't get rid of the kids, they neglect and abuse them to such a rate that our DSS offices are on constant overload. It's a sad, sad state of affairs and those of who live here see it every day. And while I'm on my soap box let me add that our US Government doesn't do them any favors by giving them free medical care, free food, free transportation to welfare office/doctors office/ grocery store/ etc... When you don't have to work you lose your self respect and life becomes a downward spiral.

The sheriff said investigators are considering how a traffic accident could have happened at the boat ramp, about 20 yards upstream from a main road that crosses the slow-moving river in Orangeburg, about 35 miles south of Columbia, the state capital. A mobile home, a house and mechanic's shop are a short distance away.

Shakeyia Baxter said the main road was heavily traveled in the mornings and would have been especially busy on Monday — the first day of school.

Can we get a location on this boat ramp? I would like to see if this would look like a road in the dark.
Remember innocent until proven guilty.
Lots of questions about how deep the water was at the end of the ramp and how fast the car had to be traveling to get it out deep enough for it to sink.

Local news shows boat ramp and no way it was miscontrued to be a road. We have boat ramps all over down here. Usually there's a dirt parking area just by the ramp so fishermen can leave their truck right there while out on the water. These areas are all over SC, on secondary roads and dirt roads. Plus the ramps have roughed up concrete to help get traction when loading and unloading boats. The Edisto River isn't very deep nor very wide nor very fast. But deep enough to submerge a car enough to drowned someone if you tried and picked the right area. I'm sure rescue had no trouble finding the vehicle, Edisto River just isn't deep like that.

I'm sorry if this has already been said, I stopped in my tracks on this thread when I got to this article.

I'm disgusted that we live in a nation that lets someone with a history like this WALK out of prison time after time after time. When will someone step up and fight to keep these animals behind bars.

Absolutely disgusted.

(Sorry, I just can't take anymore of these "out on a technicality" crimes, or deaths that could have been avoided if someone would have done their job the first time.)

They walk time and time because of the jury, pure and simple. I know, I see it all the time.

One of the MANY things that makes my blood boil with this poor excuse for a mother...

"Sheriff Larry Williams said the young boys were recovered from the North Edisto River after the car was found near a rural boat landing. The children were still strapped in their child seats."

A woman who watched divers pull the toddlers' limp bodies out of the car near her home said she couldn't understand why the boys' mother didn't bang on her door for help. Ramona Milhouse, whose side porch door is steps from the river, said at first Monday she thought the boys were unconscious, until she realized their bodies were being taken to the ambulance with no attempt to revive them.

"It sounds fishy to me," the 81-year-old Milhouse said. "If that was an accident, that woman would've been over here screamin' and hollerin' and really raising the devil."

"For someone who had just plunged into the Edisto River here, of course, and had two children in the car, her clothing wasn't damp," Williams said of Shaquan Duley's initial report.
